본 연구는 원도급 건설회사의 직접 시공 비중이 낮을수록 건축물의 하자를 유발하는 중요한 원인이 될 수 있다는 점에 대하여 2017년에서 2021년까지 기업 재무 데이터를 바탕으로 실증분석모형(ERM, Empirical Research Model)을 이용해 검증하였다. 그 결과 직접 시공 비중이 낮을수록 건설 품질을 저하시키는 주요 원인이 된다는 점을 확인하였고, 본 연구는 건설품질을 높이기 위해서 직접 시공 의무를 강화해야 한다는 주장을 이론적으로 뒷받침하는 실증분석이라는 점에서 그 의미을 가진다.

Construction projects account for a significant proportion of workplace hazards globally. While construction cost reports typically emphasize direct accident costs such as treatment expenses, nursing care costs, or disability benefits, indirect factors like work interruption loss costs or consolation costs are frequently overlooked, because it is relatively difficult to estimate those factors in advance. Recognizing and accurately estimating the indirect costs factors associated with construction accidents would not only shed light on the monetary impact these incidents have on overall project costs but also would enable to estimate the total accident cost in advance. The current study seeks to identify factors influencing indirect costs, which ultimately govern the total accident cost, through a data mining approach. A survey was conducted in domestic construction companies, resulting in a dataset of 1038 accident records collected from construction sites. First, statistical analysis was performed to uncover characteristics and patterns of factors affecting construction accident costs from both direct and indirect perspectives. Later, this study proposes four distinct machine learning (ML) models, comparing their performances in predicting the total accident cost (including indirect costs) in advance. Additionally, this research sheds light on an important issue in construction data analysis, which is the scarcity of data in a particular class, by applying random oversampling and random undersampling techniques. The suggested framework can assist practitioners and management in estimating construction accident costs and identifying the relevant attributes that impact accidents at the construction site for future practices.

In construction industry, the term 'procurement' is considered as a project based job where clients and contractors are always keen to observe performance indicators. These indicators represent financial and non-financial efficiency of project activities. Among these, the monitoring of financial indicators such as cost monitoring is an ongoing process and its importance cannot be undermined during the project life cycle. It can be monitored by using traditional approach of direct reporting of actual cost against budget. However, the comparison of budget versus actual spending does not indicate the worth of the work which is completed at any given time. This approach does not represent the true cost performance of the project. Because of these limitations, this paper discusses the applications of Earned Value Analysis (EVA) for cost monitoring of construction projects in Malaysia. Besides traditional approach, EVA is a three-dimensional approach that compares three cost indicators i.e. the budgeted value of work scheduled with the earned value of physical work completed and the actual cost of work completed. Therefore, cost monitoring by EVA is an objective measure of actual work performed. This paper uses a case study, an example application of EVA as a cost monitoring tool. This case study reaffirms the benefits of using EVA for project cash flow analysis and forecasting.

Rather than using smartphones as seismometers with designated locations and orientations, this study proposes to employ crowds' smartphones in buildings to perform fast safety assessment of buildings. The principal advantage of using crowds' smartphones is the potential to monitor the safety of millions of buildings without hardware costs, installation labor, and long-term maintenance. This study's goal is to measure the maximum interstory drift ratios during earthquake excitation using crowds' smartphones. Beacons inside the building are required to provide the location and relevant building information for the smartphones via Bluetooth. Wi-Fi Direct is employed between nearby smartphones to conduct peer-to-peer time synchronization and exchange the acceleration data measured. An algorithm to align the orientation between nearby smartphones is proposed, and the performance of the orientation alignment, interstory drift measurement, and damage level estimation are studied numerically. Finally, the proposed approach's performance is verified using large-scale shaking table tests of a scaled steel building. The results presented in this study illustrate the potential to use crowds' smartphones with the proposed approach to record building motions during earthquakes and use those data to estimate buildings' safety based on the interstory drift ratios measured.

Cancer is thought to be a direct result of transcriptional misregulation. Broad analysis of transcriptional regulatory elements in healthy and cancer cells is needed to understand cancer development. Nucleases regulatory domains are recruited to bind and manipulate a specific genomic locus with high efficacy and specificity. TALENs (transcription activator-like effector nuclease) fused to endonuclease FokI have been used widely to target specific sequences to edit several genes in healthy and cancer cells. This approach is promising to target specific cancer genes and for this purpose it is needed to pack such TALENs into viral vectors. There are some considerations which control the success of this approach, targeting appropriate sequences with efficient construction of TALENs being crucial factors. We face some obstacles in construction of TALENs; in this study we made a modification to the method of Cermk et al 2011 and added one step to make it easier and increase the availability of constructs.

국내 현실을 고려한 직접해석법 적용 방안의 제안을 위한 기초 연구로 국내의 강구조물 제작 및 설치시 적용되는 초기변형 허용값을 반영한 직접해석법 적용의 타당성을 해석적으로 평가하였다. 해석의 주요 변수로는 골조의 규모, 축력비, 축력분포, 가상하중 크기, 가상하중 가력 위치, 최소수평하중 개념 적용 여부 등을 적용하였다. 수치해석적 연구 결과 국내 초기변형 허용값인 L/700의 적용은 타당한 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 위한 방안으로 초기변형 허용값 L/700에 근거한 가상하중을 B2계수의 결과가 1.5 이하이고 수평하중이 존재하는 경우에라도 수평하중과 가상하중간에 최소수평하중 개념을 이용하여 층수평하중 형태로 가력하는 방법을 제안하였다.

The structural members under seismic loading actually show inelastic behavior, so the inelastic responses should be calculated for the seismic design of structures or estimating the structural damage level. Although direct time history analysis may calculate the exact dynamic nonlinear responses for given ground motions, this approach involves a high computational cost and long period. Therefore, it should be developed the approach to estimate nonlinear responses for the practical purpose. The artificial earthquake accelerograms were generated to obtain the smoothed responses spectra, and the samples of generated accelerogram for each seismic event was used to examine average nonlinear response spectra. The stabilized response spectra for each earthquake event was used to evaluate the effects of various yield strength ratios, damping values and nonlinear hysteretic models. The approach, which can simply predict the nonlinear seismic responses of structures, was shown in this study.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a nascent technology in Korea, and currently lacks formal guidelines to assist Architectural and Engineering (AE) firms in estimating BIM service fees, while also allowing government agencies to allocate budgets for the rendered BIM services. This research provides a method to estimate costs for BIM services based on the cost-plus pricing framework. The approach requires a generalized estimate of the man hour per floor area data to calculate the direct labor costs. Man-hour data were collected from forty five projects that have implemented BIM. Interpolation of the man-hours was performed to develop a general reference table for 'Type 2' (i.e., public schools and office buildings, etc.) projects. By providing an objective approach for estimating the costs of BIM services, it allows clients and AE firms to agree upon a fair cost for BIM related services, and thus expedite its adoption in Korea.

In this paper, we propose an image reconstruction method utilizing an optimized adaptive interpolation kernel along with a 2D M-channel perfect reconstruction filter bank (M-ch PR-FB) structure. In particular, the proposed approach leads to construction of a sharper image than a direct conversion, still preserving high frequency components of the original image through the subband processing of the 2D M-ch PR-FB. Finally, the image quality of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparing with those of the direct methods using conventional interpolation kernels.
